Bob Hemphill a vice president charged with designing and implementing PTP requested $35 million dollars in 1995 however Allan Firestone president of Heatway Corporation’s Industrial Products Division offer only $15 million to spend on PTP.
PTP was a sweeping, radical change involving not only a new process, but also a new organizational structure, a new IT architecture, and even a new philosophy of business.
Heatway is in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning business operates in 27 countries has 20000 employees worldwide.
There were strong suspicions that competitors' processes were more efficient and Japanese firms were entering U.S. markets for HVAC equipment, and Heatwaymanagers felt that they would introduce new levels of efficiency and competitive tactics.
Heatway managers received many complaints from customers about late installations, incorrect bills, and poor customer service.
![Page 3: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Don Kacher and Allan Firestone jointly assumed the responsibility of beginning a new reengineering initiative. they decided that this time the project would be in IPD, would address the order management process.
By the summer of 1993, a new consultant and a Heatway executive to manage the initiative had been selected.
Bob Hemphill will head the PTP and work has divided in two teams and both the teams jointly responsible for managing the required organizational change.
One team, with 8 members, would analyze the current state of the process
Another team of 10 internal managers and external consultants would create a very concrete and detailed vision with descriptions of the process inputs and outputs.
![Page 4: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Current state team finds that On average, it took 56 days and cost more than $12,000 for the entire process -- from proposal to collections when only Heatwayfield personnel were involved in the sale and the cost and time of distributor-oriented sales, was estimated around $10,500.
the operation committee set the performance targets for the new process one-tenth of the current figures.
The future state team sent members throughout the country to benchmark other firms’ approaches to order management and other relevant processes
Some of the new design components were as follows:
o The configuration for the order would be produced in real time at the contractor site, using a notebook-style computer, a mobile data network, and access to multiple databases within Heatway
o Customers would be served by an autonomous team of support personnel who would sell, install, and service Heatway equipment in the field
![Page 5: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
o The two teams (future-state and support-personnel) would have control over most aspects of the process tha t served customers, including pricing, invoicing and payment, collections, and measurement of customer satisfaction; Heatway referred to the teams as franchises
o Heatway will encourage field employees, to work from the road or their homes
o The customer administration function would, in Hemphill’s words, be blown up. The franchise teams could hire administrative personnel, but at their own expense.
o A key aspect of the new process design was a new set of highly integrated information systems that would enable more coordinated interfaces between sales, engineering, finance, manufacturing, and inventory management
o The team concluded that an integrated package from SAP AG, would be well suited to Heatway’s information needs. ‘

The cost of fully implementing the new work stations, networks and SAP software would around $ 100 million during first three years of process life and $50 additional required for retraining, relocating, and removing employees from the division.
There were many implications for the employees of Heatway, The best performers in the current environment loved the new process, because it meant more freedom and less bureaucracy but the less capable performers were worried about how they would fare under the more open process.
In mid-1994, Heatway announced a reorganization and management shuffle.
Salada would remain chairman, but a new CEO from the defense industry would become president and CEO. the Information Systems function would be outsourced to an external firm Firestone kept his responsibility for IPD in the U.S. but all of the non-U.S. business units were transferred to the Senior Vice President International, a position with no immediate incumbent.
![Page 7: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The new CEO told Firestone that his budget for PTP would probably have to be cut, and asked him for suggestions on how to slow down the implementation.
Though Firestone had concerns about PTP, he felt strongly that it was needed and was committed to implementing it. In meeting of the new management team, Hemphill charged that he was not getting cooperation, and several managers stated that they had not fully accepted the PTP concept.
The most pressing issue was financing for PTP. Firestone, had both revenue and profitability goals to meet over the next several years.
It was clear to everyone that if PTP was successfully implemented, it would be a good investment. Firestone would have to spend a lot of money to save a lot of money, however, and he did not have much to spend.
Now it was up to Firestone and other executives within Heatway to decide how quickly to roll out the new process, and how to fund it.
![Page 8: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bob Hemphill, a vice president charged with designing and implementing a
new process for selling and delivering Heatway products. Proposal to Payment
(PTP) was upset over the spending budget.
PTP was a sweeping, radical change involving not only a new process, but also
a new organizational structure, a new IT architecture, and even a new
philosophy of business.
Hemphill had requested $35 million for the 1995
![Page 9: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Allan Firestone, president of Heatway Corporation’s Industrial Products
Division, however, offer only $15 million to spend on PTP in 1995
Hemphill felt that $35 million was necessary to meet the objective of full
implementation of PTP by 1997
Firestone wondered how he could get the money for PTP without sacrificing
his profit objectives for the year

Heatway Electromechanical Services Co LTD was established in 1988
Heatway did business in industrial and consumer markets in 27 countries
throughout the world.
The company start working with Central Air-conditioning (Heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning -HVAC) Installation in Big Buildings such as Hotels,
Commercial Centers, Office Block buildings and small projects as dancing
clubs, Restaurants and Houses
![Page 12: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Heatway’s business enjoyed an upturn with earnings of $375 million on
revenues of $4.6 billion in 1994.
It had 20,000 employees, 40% of whom were based in the U.S
The Industrial Products Division had its own direct-sales and engineering
groups (it worked with distributors particularly in instances of smaller
customers).
![Page 13: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Heatway was an early adopter of new approaches to business
improvement.
The entire firm had embraced notions of quality and continuous
improvement in the 1980s.
In the late 1980s, the company's European business units began to
adopt more radical approaches to business improvement.
Though Heatway’s European efforts were later viewed as too incremental to
lead to radical improvements, they were initially well regarded within the
firm.
Reengineering at Heatway and IPD
![Page 15: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reengineering at Heatway and IPD
A corporate group, led by a Heatway manager and Don Kacher, vice
president of the IT, adopted the same approach and identified and described
10 key processes within the entire business. One of these became PTP
(activities from proposal for an HVAC job to delivery and payment). However,
the group concluded that the first effort within the U.S. should be in financial
processes.
Required order-of-magnitude improvements in
◦ Time
◦ Cost
◦ Quality
![Page 16: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Business Process
Reengineering
Where we are Where we want to be
![Page 18: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Work divided into two teams
◦ Team A
8 members
Analyze current state of the processes
Understand the costs & time of doing business
Recommend short term improvements
◦ Team B
10 internal managers& consultants
Create vision for future state of process.
Both teams were jointly responsible for managing the organizational change required for the initiative to succeed.
![Page 19: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The current-state team members began immediately to lay out the
current process on large boards within their offices.
They interviewed more than100managers, employees, and distributor
personnel in the field in order to better understand the process.
![Page 20: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1On average, it took 56 days and cost more than $12,000 for the
entire process (from proposal to collections)
Some sales revenues were lower than this cost amount overall.
The cost and time of distributor-oriented sales, was estimated
around $10,500
the operation committee set the performance targets for the new
process one-tenth of the current figures.
![Page 21: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The objective of the future-state team was to formulate a very concrete and
detailed vision with descriptions of the process inputs and outputs,
technologies and organizational approaches to be employed, and specific
performance measures.
The team analyzed the firm’s strategy and operational vision.
Spoke with customers about their requirements for the process,
The team sent members throughout the country to benchmark other firm’s
approaches to order management and other relevant processes.
![Page 22: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The focus of benchmarking activity was to finding innovations adopted by a
variety of firms' innovations that could be adopted by Heatway
The team researched how information technology might be employed in the
new process.
Finally, The team analyzed how new organizational approaches, such as
front-line empowerment and self-managing teams, could be applied to the
PTP process.
![Page 23: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The design of the new process began to take shape. Some of the design components
were as follows:
The configuration for the order would be produced in real time at the architect or
contractor site, using a notebook-style computer, a mobile data network, and
access to multiple databases within Heatway;
Customers would be served by an autonomous team of support personnel who
would sell, install, and service Heatway equipment in the field (this aspect of the
vision overlapped with service processes, which were not really changed in PTP)
![Page 24: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The two teams (future-state and support-personnel) would have control over most
aspects of the process that served customers, including pricing, invoicing and
payment, collections, and measurement of customer satisfaction; Heatway referred
to the teams as franchises because they performed the entire PTP process and
could act as a separate company (though field personnel would still be Heatway
employees)
Heatway would generally dispense with offices for field employees, encouraging
them to work from the road or their homes; however, certain customers would be
compensated for acting as demonstration and service training sites.
The customer administration function would, in Hemphill’s words, be blown up.
The franchise teams could hire administrative personnel, but at their own expense.
![Page 25: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A key aspect of the new process design was a new set of highly integrated
information systems that would enable more coordinated interfaces between
sales, engineering, finance, manufacturing, and inventory management
The team concluded that an integrated package from SAP AG, would be well
suited to Heatway’s information needs. ‘
Kacher and the reengineering team subset began to interview consultants for
SAP help, beginning with the firm being used for the reengineering work.
While designing the process, the team concluded that customers could not be
effectively served unless the interface between PTP and manufacturing was
improved
![Page 26: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A small tea m was created to redesign this process, which came to be called
Solution Design and Construction.
Similarly, the PTP team concluded that the distributor-based processes differed
so much from the rest of PTP that they should be redesigned separately; another
small team was formed, called Channel Processes.
Salada heatway chairman was heard to tell one team member, This is the most
important project in the company right now. One concern of the more
aggressive members of the senior management tea m, such as Don Kacher, was
that the new design would not be radical enough. But when the staff got a
preview of the new process design in mid-1994, that was no longer a concern.
![Page 27: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Team created a large financial model to analyze the costs, benefits, and
financial risks of implementing the new PTP process.
The new process was very expensive (around $150million)
◦ Cost for prototype process efforts
◦ Cost of SAP Implementation
◦ Cost of fully implementing and operating the new workstations, networks, and
SAP software
◦ Cost for retaining, relocating, and removing employees
◦ Return on the PTP investment appeared very high.
![Page 29: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Changes in Information technology
◦ Mobile data network necessary
◦ SAP installation
◦ Sales force workstation

Adoption of the new process.
Management, evaluation and compensation of their day to day work.
Communicated the nature of these changes through written
communication.

Mixed Reaction
◦ Performers loved the new process because of more freedom and less
bureaucracy.
◦ Less capable performers were worried about how they would fare
It was clear to all that some employees would not survive in the new
environment.
![Page 32: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

In mid-1994, Heatway announced a reorganization and
management shuffle.
Salada would remain chairman, but a new CEO from the defense
industry would become president and CEO.
Kacher would leave Heatway,
The Information Systems function would be outsourced to an
external firm with substantial SAP experience.
![Page 34: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Firestone kept his responsibility for IPD in the U.S. and was given
responsibility for the U.S. Consumer division,
All of the non-U.S. business units were transferred to the Senior Vice
President International, a position with no immediate incumbent.
![Page 35: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Reorganization could have been problematic for PTP
o Firestone’s greatest concern was that the European groups would now
have less incentive to adopt the PTP design.
o He was concerned also that the new information systems provider would
want to implement SAP without concern for the PTP process vision.
The new CEO told Firestone that his budget for PTP would probably
have to be cut, and asked him for suggestions on how to slow down
the implementation.
![Page 36: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Difficulty in assessing how rapidly the construction and rollout of PTP
capabilities should take place.
Other members of the operations committee were neither worried nor
committed to PTP.
Change in the commitment by the key managers after the reorganization.
![Page 37: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
These are those managers whose functional areas would shrink with the
adoption of PTP despite being offered important role at Heatway.
In Financing for PTP
o If all the resources are devoted then both revenue and profitability
goals would not meet
![Page 38: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Firestone, had both revenue and profitability goals to meet over the
next several years.
It was clear to everyone that if PTP was successfully implemented, it
would be a good investment. Firestone would have to spend a lot of
money to save a lot of money, however, and he did not have much
to spend.
the new CEO and several senior members of the Operations
Committee did not seem willing to fund PTP substantially.
![Page 39: BPR Presentation Heatway Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052209/55cf8f11550346703b9892f5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Firestone tried unsuccessfully to make PTP a corporate initiative, but that
did not seem to be the style of the new Heatway corporate management.
Hemphill and Firestone was frustrated at their difficulty. Their
reengineering project had delivered on a new process design that will
radically improve the old process of Heatway and that had all the signs
of being implementable.
Now it was up to Firestone and other executives within Heatway to
decide how quickly to roll out the new process, and how to fund it.
